rewrite of rqt_console #186

@ablasdel @ahendrix @jonbinney @tkruse since you have all been involved on at least one of the above mentioned tickets: |

Much improved, thanks dirk! I just tried spamming 1000 messages per second and adding/removing filters, and the interface remained responsive. Also loading thousands of saved messages is super quick. A few minor issues: When I add the "severities" filter, "info" and "error" in the filter have a grey background. What does that mean? Clicking on them doesn't add or remove the grey background, instead it highlights them in orange (the default "selected" color ). ---- After typing this realized that the fields are just alternated gray and white, to separate them visually. But it confused me, and other people might also think that the 2 gray fields are selected. It seems that i can only add one filter of each type (well, one of each type for exclude, and one of each type for include). Might be annoying for users who want to look for messages "containing foo" and also "containing bar". Saving the messages only saves the messages currently being displayed. I can see why this will often be the desired behavior, but sometimes the user may want to save all messages so that they can load use different filters later, even if they are using some filters currently. Maybe an option in the "Save" dialog? |

I can see why the alternate colors might be difficult but I think they are still helpful especially when using the node/topic filter. Else it becomes very difficult to visually separate the items. Update: after talking with some people I still think that the alternate colors are a bigger improvement than they cause confusion. Allowing only one filter per type was a design decision to keep it simple. E.g. you could always toggle the regexp and search for either foo or bar. I am not sure if we should allow multiple message/location filters. What do other people think about this? Update: multiple message/location filters can be added now again. In order to save all messages you can always disable all filters and then export the list. I am not sure if we should introduce more buttons for this since if you don't filter just adds stuff to the UI which becomes more difficult to understand and uses more space. Update: if there is no strong feedback by multiple people I will keep it simple for now. Thanks for the feedback - after some more feedback I will think about the trade offs. |
|
First off this is great! Thanks for looking into this and fixing up my shoddy code. At the moment multiple message filters are allowed so people don't have to know regex to exclude/include multiple strings. I would fall on the side of leaving this as is to make it usable by a wider audiance. Now that dirk has fixed the speed issues I think adding an extra save button when you can just disable the filters is a bit overkill. We have way too many buttons on the top as it is. If we absolutely have to add something I would suggest some way to enable/disable all filters at the same time. |
|
Currently every filter can only be added once. As Aaron mentioned the latest release allowed to add multiple message filters. I broke that in 25cb985#L6L244 and will fix it soonish. |
|
As long a no column the view uses the model order which improves the performance even when loading data or changing filters in a way that a lot of rows reappear. Currently it is not possible to switch back to model order after selecting a column. I think we need a button or special mouse click for that. |

I see no difference to my ordering problem, but that might be because On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 3:20 AM, Dirk Thomas notifications@github.heygears.comwrote:

Ah, sorry, I was not working on the special branch. OK, with this branch, On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 6:58 PM, Thibault Kruse tibokruse@googlemail.comwrote:

The ordering problem is not only addressed for the timestamp but for all columns (https://github.com/ros-visualization/rqt_common_plugins/pull/186/files#L21R95). So you can either reproduce it with timestamp which are identifical (even with nanosecond accuracy) or with any other equal values in any column. |
|
As long as no custom sorting is triggered by clicking on the column headers the performance should be awesome 😄 By clicking on the column header of the first column you can switch back to model order. The vertical header has a tooltip describing the behavior. |
|
I finally got the last polishing commits in, fixed some more tiny issues and squashed the commits. If there is no further feedback I will go ahead, merge and release it soonish. |
|
@wjwwood Please "review" - due to size of the diff I actually don't expect a full code review though 😉 |
|
Just remembered that Isaac reused the console subscriber in another plugin. If we rename it we will have to make sure to rename it there too. I looked around and I can't find where he used it. Perhaps he stopped doing so. Ignorethis for now. |
|
Builds and runs well on the mac, as far as I can see. Loaded a test file @dirk-thomas gave me, seems to work. |
|
Very good point @ablasdel. I update rqt_robot_dashboard to work with the updated version of rqt_console: see pull request ros-visualization/rqt_robot_plugins#54. |
…sole update dashboard to work with latest rqt_console (ros-visualization/rqt_common_plugins#186)

A major rewrite of rqt_console mainly to overcome performance problems of the previous implementation.
data()function of the item model (rqt_console freezes at very high message rates #116)The only operation which still takes a long time is when the view needs to add a large number of rows which has not been there before. This is completely related to sorting. Without sorting but using the model order the operations are much faster.
